Dan Farber, director of UC Berkeley School of Law’s Environmental Law Program, draws a comparison between the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and carbon capture and storage projects. “Systems don’t always work the way they’re supposed to, in part because people make mistakes,” Farber said. “If we start doing this on a major scale we shouldn’t just accept assertions that this is perfectly safe and there’s nothing to worry about. We’ve been doing offshore drilling for a long time, too, and we thought we knew how to do that.”
